8. YouTube
YouTube is another one of those things you can hate on really easily but there are some incredible opportunities that come with the YouTube sneaker community. For one, you can watch anyone you want, and there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of really knowledgable people creating sneaker related YouTube videos. You can also create your own channel and share your thoughts on sneakers. For the most part, the sneaker community is pretty receptive and encouraging to the newcomers on YouTube.
